Abstract

The study aimed to analyze the relationship between burnout and job satisfaction among Economics students undertaking pre-professional internships at a Peruvian public university. The research was conducted using a quantitative approach, with a non-experimental, cross-sectional, and correlational design. The sample consisted of 400 students selected through probabilistic sampling. Data were collected using the Maslach Burnout Inventory and the S20/23 Job Satisfaction Questionnaire, both of which showed adequate levels of validity and reliability. The statistical analysis was performed using Spearman’s rho coefficient. The results showed an inverse, non-significant, and negligible correlation between burnout and job satisfaction, with a rho value of -0.012 and a p value of 0.811. Likewise, a higher prevalence of the inefficacy dimension was identified in comparison with emotional exhaustion and cynicism. It is concluded that, in the context of pre-professional internships, the relationship between burnout and job satisfaction has limited practical relevance, possibly due to the presence of educational resources that mitigate the impact of psychological strain on students.
